Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)


You may be charged sales tax for your state, plus some handling fee of up to $20. If you aren't, then you'll be expected to claim it on your income tax next year, but honestly I don't know anyone who isn't a business that does.
As a computing device under $1000 it should be duty-free from Germany, especially if you get the 4G unit and it gets shipped as a phone.
I never paid anything but shipping when I got my Pandora from ED. And I having it sent to Omaha Nebraska so your good
 
I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm interested in preordering a pyra but I'm in the U.S. What sort of import tax are we looking at here if it's shipped from europe?

It's not likely. US customs have never charged me taxes from any country. I live in NYC.

Euro USD is low low low right now. So go go go with the preorder and tell your friends! :)
 
I wonder, whether the number of preorders will leap up, as soon as it will have reached 665.
 
Why, did something special happen when the count reached 616?

I meant 616, because I figured you meant that it was the number after that one that was the interesting one. I noticed that I left out a word. Adding it doesn't fix it in relation to what you said, so I guess I did mean 615.

It is less infamous, however some feel it may be more accurate. It is hard to know which is "correct" after all the centuries, and what has survived. Although the one you were talking about is more interesting to me (I like repeating numbers, and it has other cool little things going one) I can't use it at all here, even when not related to that religion, because people assume it is a reference to that book/dream. The funny thing is that after looking into things and finding that the other one may be the original I started using it to reference that, and even the super hardcore christians don't understand. The more popular one seems to win out, and it is damned to be associated with that, and you better not talk about things like the price of the Apple 1.

I rather thought about how many may not be ordering yet, because they wait for #665 to be just taken and then try to be next. Next thing you know, we've got 2000 preorders. :)

Don't know that subject. So, how much is it? You sell it?
 
@Djoga'Ro When new, the Apple 1 sold for $666.66. Why do you think most people are waiting to try to get #666? Most people I encounter that care about it try to avoid it, and most people in general don't seem to care. Either way, if someone is waiting for that they already missed out. They wouldn't get the serial number of the preorder count, since the first 200 were already claimed. There are still around 65 of those that aren't included in the total. As of right now the serial number count is around 694.

Edit: I don't know if the prototypes get a number as well. Trying for a specific number is difficult. During prepreordering I wanted 111, but everything stalled, so I bought mine when it looked like I would get #110, yet I actually got #109.
 
The 13th 24 hours of pre-orders is now up.

It seems we got :

350 Pre-orders the first 24 hours (350)
79 Pre-orders in the second 24 hours. (429)
49 Pre-orders in the third 24 hours (478) (Some double up Pre-orders were removed though)
29 Pre-orders in the fourth 24 hours (507)
18 Pre-orders in the fifth 24 hours (525)
26 Pre-orders in the sixth 24 hours (551)
12 Pre-orders in the seventh 24 hours (563)
10 Pre-orders in the eight 24 hours (573)
17 Pre-orders in the ninth 24 hours (590)
11 Pre-orders in the tenth 24 hours (601)
9 Pre-orders in the eleventh 24 hours (610) - Note , the number would have been higher, however a number of duplicate orders were removed.
11 Pre-orders in the 12th 24 hours (621)
8 Pre-orders in the 13th 24 hours (629)

Note: Daily figures also include converted Pre Pre-orders. As such , actual new pre-orders would be a little less than quoted figures.

Did not know that, funny. Thought you were talking about THE Apple.

Why do you think most people are waiting to try to get #666?
Exaggeration. I just thought there might be some. I think one particular nick from this forum came to mind and with it the rest.
Originally it was just a fun thought. Then you made a fuss about it. ;P

Yeah, didn't think of that.

The number is fun, though. Thanks to christians and how they react to it.
 
It is fun for me to ruin your fun. :P

It is one of those things some people react oddly to, like Fridays that fall on the 13th day of a month. Silly superstitions.
 
Last I knew, it still needs some work either by Ti or a community member I will keep nameless to avoid harassment, either would need to have a prototype unit to attempt to get it working.
Given that I wasn't around for the first gig... how long did it take to get the 3D drivers up and running on the Pandora?
 
probably order another pre-order voucher, you can use them both at the final buy time. (and probably save the 5% there.)

numbers seem to be picking up today.

I noticed the pre-order rates seem to be picking up. Did we get any additional media coverage recently or something?
 
I assumed that was because of ED's announcement it will definitely come in black...

Ah. Yes. That might do it too. I would like a black Pyra...

It does make me wonder about the psychology of using a red pyra on the landing page versus some other color and whether or not such a thing influences the purchase rate...
